Abstract: |
In this paper a non-linear extension to the synthetic discriminant function (SDF) is proposed. The SDF is a well known 2- D correlation filter for object recognition. The proposed nonlinear version of the SDF is derived from kernel-based learning. The kernel SDF is implemented in a nonlinear high dimensional space by using the kernel trick and it can improve the performance of the linear SDF by incorporating the image’s class higher order moments. We show that this kernelized composite correlation filter has an intrinsic connection with the recently proposed correntropy function.We apply this kernel SDF to face recognition and simulations show that the kernel SDF significantly outperforms the traditional SDF as well as is robust in noisy data environments. |
